Rocket Ship Startups Likely to 10x

Spending a month picking the right startup to work for can be more
impactful than spending a lifetime working at an average company.
We're here to help you pick and land engineering jobs at the best
startups. Learn more about how we pick the best startups
here.

List Methodology

Our list of rocket ship startups is based on the following objective
criteria.

Company Must Be Series B or Beyond

Even the best venture firms have trouble picking at a Series A or
earlier. For companies that have partially or wholly boostrapped,
revenue run rate must be at least $20 million.

Year-Over-Year Employee Growth of at Least 25%

Employee growth usually indicates the company is scaling rapidly.
It also indicates the startup's prospects are compelling
enough to attract and retain talent, especially for later
employees who usually get less than 1 percent of equity.

Pre-Exit

Historically, upside is far more limited after an IPO or acquisition.

Glassdoor Rating of at Least 4.0 out of 5 Stars

Negative reviews indicate business problems such as significantly
worsened prospects, layoffs, mismanagement, and lack of growth.

United States Based Headquarters

We are currently only focused on the domestic market.

Product Is in Market

Outcomes for pre-product companies are historically difficult to
predict.

Actively Hiring Software Engineers

So that you can get a job there!

We further prune companies based on information from our network of
investors and early stage employees. For example, we remove companies
who experience down rounds, significant layoffs, or regrettable key
departures.

If you believe we're missing a company that fulfills the above
criteria,
contact us.

We are not investors in any listed companies and inclusion in our
list is independent of whether companies have a commercial
relationship with us.

In other words, we want to help engineers join the best companies
that they can, first and foremost.

Our founders and investors joined rocket ship companies including
Facebook and Google early. The outcomes were life changing. But
historically, not everyone gets early access to rocket ships. We're
leveling the playing field by providing everyone equal access to
rocket ship opportunities.
